a TRUE leader must...

Rev. Run who was the lead guy Run DMC said something amazing on Twitter and I thought I should share it.  If you don't know, Run DMC was one of the pioneers for "Hip Hop"!  Not Gangster rap, rap music, or R&B but true "Hip Hop" (music with a message) This quote from Rev. Run is profound and speaks to something EVERY leader should do:

"A true leader must have the courage to act against an experts advice.  Trust ur intuition... I owe my success 2 listenin respectfully 2 many experts, accountants etc and then going my own way! Trust ur gut!

God gives each of us discernment so that we can take the life He's given us and make responsible and God honoring decisions. The first thing that came to mind was Mark Beeson.  All the experts would have said, there is no need to put a church in the middle of a cornfield in some dirt road town full of Catholics called Granger, IN....well God knew what He was doing EVEN WHEN the experts thought they were right! (Side note: I'm not condoning his album or anything like that, I just LOVE what he said.  It helped me grow as a leader.  I'm open and willing to learn from anyone God will speak to me through.)
